EFFECT OF INSTALLATION FAULTS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF A SPLIT AIR CONDITIONER

August 18, 2015
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, Hugh Henderson, William V. Payne
The study analyzed the effect of common installation faults on the cooling performance of a residential, split air conditioner installed in a single-family, slab-on-grade house. We considered five climatic regions in the United States from hot/humid to

Standardization of Smart Grid Customer Interfaces

July 1, 2015
Author(s)
Steven T. Bushby, David G. Holmberg
One of the key concepts of a modernized “smart grid” is to combine modern communication technology with an improved electric grid to enable energy consumers to exchange information with energy suppliers in order to collaboratively manage electricity supply

Design Challenges of the NIST Net Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

March 26, 2015
Author(s)
Betsy Pettit, Cathy Gates, Arthur H. Fanney, William M. Healy
Homeowners and builders have increasingly strived to build low energy use and environmentally friendly homes. As materials and equipment have improved, energy reduction as a goal has increasingly been replaced with the goal of net-zero energy use. But the

Effect of Installation Faults on Air-to-Air Heat Pump Performance

January 20, 2015
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski
Numerous studies and surveys indicate that typically-installed HVAC equipment operate inefficiently and waste considerable energy due to different installation errors (faults) such as improper refrigerant charge, incorrect airflow, oversized equipment

Monitoring Techniques for the Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Mark W. Davis, William M. Healy, Matthew Boyd, Lisa Ng, William V. Payne, Harrison Skye, Tania Ullah
NIST has constructed a Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility that will be used as a testbed for investigating the measurement science related to systems, components, and operations that will lead to homes that generate as much energy over a course of a

Sensitivity Analysis of Installation Faults on Heat Pump Performance

October 8, 2014
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, Hugh Henderson, William V. Payne
Numerous studies and surveys indicated that typically-installed HVAC equipment operates inefficiently and wastes considerable energy due to different installation errors (faults), e.g., improper refrigerant charge, incorrect airflow, oversized equipment

Roadmap for Building Commissioning Research Workshop Summary Report

September 30, 2014
Author(s)
Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti, David Shipley, Walter Zalis, Steven T. Bushby
This report summarizes the results of the Building Commissioning Research and Measurement Science Needs Webinar Workshop held on April 29, 2014, sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This effort supports ongoing research into

Facility Smart Grid Interface and a Demand Response Conceptual Model

August 28, 2014
Author(s)
David G. Holmberg, Steven T. Bushby, David B. Hardin
Residential, commercial, and industrial facilities have potential to support electric grid reliability with demand response (DR) via use of facility energy management approaches. The ability of different DR approaches to successfully engage the maximum
